Why "The reason for this periodicity is not known for sure?" edit

Latest comment: 5 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

It is clearly stated in the "Why It Can Discriminate Coding from Non-coding?" section that

If the codons are sampled uniformly at random, as they would be in a noncoding segment of DNA

This statement implies that this 3-base periodicity property is due to the randomness of codon determines coding/non-coding state of DNA segment. Why it is stated in the second paragraph that

The reason for this periodicity is not known for sure

Please elaborate or I will modify this part according to the codon randomness. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hhthoj (talk • contribs) 07:30, 31 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
